Consoles such as the PlayStation 4 Slim over time start to overheat from all the excessive dust accumulating. It causes the thermal paste to thin out and the speed drastically reduces. The overheating can produce a lot of fan noise. This guide shows how to clean the PlayStation 4 Slim, replace the thermal paste, and restore the console to fantastic working conditions!

Hey, can I use this for a original “fat” ps4?
thanks
the original fat ps4 uses a different design than the slim one
Any advice on a good way to clean the fan blades? Thanks for all the other tips!
Use a brush at the same time with a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust, then, a slightly damp cloth to clean the blades.
Thanks for the instructions, they helped me a lot!!! If there's one thing Sony didn't save on this console, it was screws 😂😂😂
La guía es muy fácil de seguir y los resultados superaron mis expectativas, la falla de recalentamiento ya no aparece más. Gracias!!
This guy helped me take apart my PS4 slim and put it together!! Super happy for being able to do this without much experience as well as anxiety lol. One thing to note is that I had way more screws than what this guide showed. I also had an extra connecting piece alongside Step 8 where it tells you to "Gently lift the black wire to disconnect from the motherboard." Don't know what that piece does and I don't care as long as it works! All in all, great guide. My PS4 still works, cleaned up and able to be used for a few more years before I switch to a PS5 :)
good work but be aware that there are different models of ps4 slim which have slight alterations in its design which make somewhat difficult to follow the instructions to its nail. this was for me the thing that i opened it up and under the hood there were slight differences which confused me. XD
Mon ps4 ne ralime pas je sais pas pour quoi la je besoin de votre aide
I try to clean but i got 2 extra screw
Idk why but still working 👍🤷♂️
yoo
How do I get it back the way it was?
E quando o gato urina no seu vídeo game e ele não liga mais o que devemos fazer?
Thank you for this information ******
That’s clearly a Phillips screw… not Torx.
